A TMZ cameraman caught the Atlanta rapper in Los Angeles and asked him if he was interested in owning the Carolina Panthers. He quickly said "no."

Although he supports Diddy and Curry's ambitious move to own a football team, it's not something he would likely invest in.

"I don't wanna spend a bunch of money on something that I can't do what I want, when I want," T.I. explains. "I don't want to answer to the NFL. If I spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions, I want full rein and jurisdiction over everything ... you can't do that with the NFL."

T.I. added that if Diddy and Curry have the financial resources and abilities then they should be allowed to place a bid for the Carolina Panthers just like the next person. But he has no interest in buying one.
